Captures roughly forty version bumps (v0.2.6 → v0.2.47) of work that
accumulated without commits.
- Pluggable provider system under server/providers/: gemini, anthropic,
openai, openai-compatible, ollama, whisper-compatible, relay. Mix and
match transcription + analysis per request via the picker UI.
- Relay backend integration. Hardcoded relay URL in server/relay-default.js
(operator-controlled at build time, not user-configurable). New
/api/relay/{status,policy} endpoints proxy to the relay; balance pings
populate a cached credit display.
- Per-install identity in server/install-id.js for relay credit accounting.
Sent to the relay as X-Recap-Install-Id; persists across upgrades, lost
on a full uninstall + reinstall. Not surfaced in the UI.
- Admin login gate (server/admin-auth.js + setAdminPassword action). Scrypt
password hash + HMAC-signed session cookie.
- Entitlement scheme rename: pro / max (each paired with subscriptions and
relay_pro / relay_max), replacing the misleading "core" entitlement
that conflicted with the user-facing "Core" tier name.
- Activation screen: dynamic credit count pulled from /api/relay/policy,
"Skip — use free mode" button, accurate paid-feature list.
- Top toolbar: inline credit-balance pill (or "BYO configured" fallback),
Upgrade + "I have a key" buttons.
- Picker UI: per-provider sections with Save/Test/Delete buttons, sections
collapsible by chevron, default-collapsed unless currently selected,
"Use comped credits (reset to relay)" link when the user has strayed,
green hint under inputs whose values are server-configured.
- Activity log: chevron-collapsible groups per video, refresh-survival via
localStorage + a 500-entry server-side buffer, explicit Clear button.
- YouTube captions fast-path with user toggle (skips audio download + AI
transcription when captions are available — uncheck for speaker labels).
- Cancel button: AbortController plumbed through every provider SDK call;
retryAPI short-circuits on AbortError; cancellation events surface in
the activity log instead of silent retries.
- Long-video analysis: auto-coalesce transcript entries before building the
analysis prompt so local-model context windows (32k-ish) don't overflow.
Original entries preserved for transcript display via an index map; the
analyzer sees a coarser view but click-to-seek timestamps stay precise.
- StartOS action grouping (Setup / AI Providers) so the actions list is
navigable.
- Manifest description rewritten to reflect multi-provider support and
free-tier relay credits.
- Smaller fixes: summarize-button enablement no longer requires a Gemini
key when other providers are configured; analysis fallback chain handles
context-length and 503 capacity errors; single-segment expansion for
providers that don't return per-segment timestamps (Parakeet et al.);
many other UX polish items.
Three changes that together make license state changes feel
near-instant in the UI without burning real I/O / network budget:
1. File-poll interval: 30s → 5s
Action-set keys (via "Set Recap License") get picked up almost
immediately. Cost: a single stat per file every 5s, negligible.
2. Online validation interval: 6h → 30min
A license revoked on Keysat now flips to invalid within 30 min
worst-case, instead of sitting unnoticed for hours. Bounded
latency makes revocation usable in production.
3. Opportunistic online refresh on /api/license-status
If the cached LIC was last validated more than 10 min ago, fire
validateOnline() in the background (non-blocking) when the web
UI hits the status endpoint. Since the UI hits status on every
page load, revocations get caught the next time anyone opens
the app — usually well under the scheduled 30 min tick.
Three new env vars for tuning:
RECAP_LICENSE_FILE_POLL_MS (default 5000)
RECAP_VALIDATE_INTERVAL_MS (default 1800000)
RECAP_OPPORTUNISTIC_REFRESH_MS (default 600000)
Two related changes:
1. New StartOS action: 'Set Recap License'
Symmetric with the existing 'Set Gemini API Key' action — paste a
LIC1-... key into the StartOS Actions menu and it gets persisted.
Added because some users prefer the StartOS form for credentials
over the in-app activation modal.
Implementation:
• startos/file-models/config.json.ts: schema gains recap_license_key
• startos/actions/setLicense.ts: input form (masked, regex-checks
for the LIC1- prefix), persists via configFile.merge()
• startos/actions/index.ts: registers the new action
• server/license.js: readLicenseString() falls back to
startos-config.json after the legacy license.txt path. Resolution
order: env → license.txt → startos-config.json
• server/license-middleware.js: faster license-file poll (30 s,
env-overridable RECAP_LICENSE_FILE_POLL_MS) re-runs checkLicense
so action-set keys take effect within seconds, not the 6 h online
cycle. If the new key parses as 'licensed', kicks an immediate
online check to confirm.
2. Copy fix: 'Keysat license' → 'Recap license' in user-facing text
Keysat is the licensing system underneath, but customers buy a
'Recap license'. Updated:
• Activation screen subtitle (public/index.html)
• 402 message in the activation gate (server/license-middleware.js)
Internal references (PRODUCT_SLUG, KEYSAT_BASE_URL, the issuer.pub
filename, the 'Issuer: licensing.keysat.xyz' display in the
activation card) stay as Keysat — those are accurate.
Smoke tested locally: starting the server with no license, then
writing a fake LIC1-... key into startos-config.json, the
license-file poll picks it up within ~2 s and transitions state from
'unlicensed' to 'invalid' (since the fake key fails Ed25519
verification, as expected). With a real key, the same path would land
in 'licensed'.
• LIC — exported live binding (ESM)
• setupLicenseMiddleware(app) — registers activation gate + Pro
feature gates (must run before any
/api/* route)
• setupLicenseRoutes(app) — /api/license-status, /api/license/
activate, /api/license/deactivate
• startLicenseRefresh() — startup + 6h periodic online check
• refreshLicenseOnline(reason) — ad-hoc refresh (e.g., during activate)
• isFreeUser() — 'no license || no core entitlement'
• tryAcquireFreeSlot() / releaseFreeSlot() — the free-tier concurrency
lock previously open-coded
in /api/process
Local 'const isFreeUser = ...' in /api/process renamed to 'isFree' to
avoid shadowing the imported helper. Open-coded freeJobInFlight reads/
writes replaced with the slot helpers.
server/index.js: 2461 → 2300 lines.
Smoke tested: server boots; /api/license-status, /api/health, /api/
process (rejects with 400 'No API key' as expected for unlicensed +
no key) all behave as before.
